Per-hotel detail, price comparison and FAQ
An 8-storey hotel on Ramkhamhaeng Soi 22, about a 5-minute walk to Ramkhamhaeng University. It's a Halal-certified hotel with a Muslim restaurant on site and free parking, offering fairly spacious, clean rooms at a low price. Reviewers praise the staff and the value, making it a solid pick for university visitors or Muslim travellers, though some rooms catch street noise.
A large hotel of over 460 rooms directly across from the Airport Rail Link Ramkhamhaeng station, about a 5-minute walk away. The draw is riding the ARL straight to Suvarnabhumi Airport or into the city at Makkasan. There's an in-house restaurant and convenience store, with plain, cheap rooms. Reviewers find it good value and well placed for flight connections, though the building and rooms are showing their age.
A small guesthouse-style hotel on a Ramkhamhaeng soi, with plain, clean rooms, air-con, Wi-Fi, and an en-suite bathroom, plus a 7-Eleven nearby. It scores highly in reviews — around 8.5 — for cleanliness and helpful staff, making it a good fit for budget travellers who want a clean, safe room cheaply, though the beds are firm and it's a way from the tourist sights.
A small hotel of about 51 rooms on Ramkhamhaeng Soi 50, the budget brand under the Livotel group. Rooms come with a balcony and a work desk, and there's free Wi-Fi, a lift, a minimart, and luggage storage — but no pool or breakfast. It suits anyone wanting a newer, clean room on a budget near Rajamangala Stadium, with the caveat that there's no parking.
A 172-room hotel near Ladprao 130 on the Ramkhamhaeng 81 side, about 1 km from The Mall Bangkapi and roughly 2 km from Rajamangala Stadium. Rooms have a private balcony with a fridge and kettle, and there's a restaurant and free parking. Reviewers like the spacious rooms and value, making it a fit for event- or concert-goers, though you'll need a short ride to reach a train station.
A 168-room hotel on Hua Mak Soi 20 (Ramkhamhaeng 32) on the Bang Kapi side, close to Assumption University's Hua Mak campus and Ramkhamhaeng Hospital. It has an outdoor pool and a fitness centre, with rooms that include a fridge and flat-screen TV, and breakfast is included. It suits families or anyone visiting ABAC who wants full facilities on a mid-range budget, though it's a fair distance from the train.
A large hotel on Srinakarin Road toward Hua Mak, with spacious rooms, an infinity pool, a spa, and a big convention centre as its highlights. It scores highly in reviews — around 8.8 — for cleanliness and upkeep, making it a fit for conference- or wedding-goers, or anyone wanting the top-end hotel in this district. The trade-off is that it sits off the train lines, so you'll rely on a car.
